How To Combine LinkedIn and Hootsuite to Listen for Job Opportunities

In a few months, there will be a ton of young talent hitting the market after recieveing their sheepskins from various colleges and universities. The timing is the best it’s been in years, too.  According to data from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (as displayed by our friends at Google), US unemployment rates have dropped from 10.9% in 2009 to 8.6% as of Novermber 2011.  This is welcome news.

To graduate with that career promising first job, here’s my very best advice — start looking right now! The Time is Now Look, if you’re a senior, you’re busy. I get that and we’ve all been there.  You’re also probably burnt out and would much rather enjoy your last quarter of the college life [...]

25 ‘Best Of’ Blog Posts on nateriggs.com in 2011

As I get ready for next year on nateriggs.com, I always look back at what posts preformed the highest with you and all of the folks that visit here and read my stuff. This year, I built the list by looking at three different metrics.  First (and always first in my opinion) I started by digging into my Google Analytics to see what content brought the best traffic. Next, I looked at data from a free PostRank plugin for WordPress and whittled the list down to everything that ranked a score of 7 or above. Finally, I looked at posts that had been optimized using the combination of SEO Scribe and SEO All in One Pack for Word press.  Using these three measure, you and I collectively came up with the list of 25 ‘Best Of’ blog posts you see below. Going one step further, I’ve tried to give them some type of order by grouping together some of the similar topic areas.  Let me know what you think and if you remember any of these, okay?  About Building Brand The Resume is Dead My Take on Ted and Brand The Fascinating Personal Brand of Tim Tebow About Dark Periods About Blogging How to Pitch for  Guest Blogging Spot On the Argument to Post Blog Content Daily What’s Your Take on the Whole Authors VS Bloggers Thing?
